Thanks, Russell, that was a helpful answer!
One point of curiosity:

I would love to hear what others' experience has been on this point.
I was taught that this might or might not be the case: E.g., the pt
could begin treatment with let's say sycotic miasm *active* (requiring
treatment), whereas let's say syphilitic miasm is "latent" -- it's in
there, and you suspect you're going to need to deal with it at some
point, but right now there would be no justification to. In that case
the "less destructive" miasm might be the first to be dealt with, with
the more destructive one coming out only later. In that case I'd expect
the overall state of the pt to be better than before, even tho they are
displaying a "worse" miasm...
Anyone have comments on this?
